In England, Herbert Spencer struggles to support his five children after the death of his wife. When a letter arrives from Herbert's long-lost brother in Australia, it seems that their fortunes might be about to change. Will they travel to Australia and start a new life on a cattle station? And will their beloved Uncle David be able to join them?
